our scouts report saruman has attacked rohan. thodens people have fled to helms deep. but we must look to our own borders. faramir, orcs are on the move. sauron is marshalling an army. easterlings and southrons are passing through the black gate.
some thousands. more come every day.
we pulled 500 men at osgiliath, but if the city is attacked, we wont hold it.
faramir, orcs have taken the eastern shore. their numbers are too great. by nightfall well be overrun.
you know the laws of our country, the laws of your father. if you let them go, your life will be forfeit.
